Description:
Offering approximately 2,255 sq ft of accommodation, this detached property provides well-proportioned rooms and a fabulous opportunity to acquire a home to create an idyllic rural lifestyle.

This room features a central fireplace and sliding glass doors opening onto the garden, enjoying views over the property’s private paddocks beyond. A separate dining room benefits from a fully functional wood burner, while a study positioned at the front of the property offers a dedicated space for home working without encroaching on everyday living areas. The utility room and cloakroom add practical spaces well-suited to the requirements of a rural lifestyle.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with extensive built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, alongside a second bedroom with its own en-suite. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
Outside:
Walnut Cottage is nestled within the quiet village of Kingston in an idyllic setting, directly opposite the church. The property extends to just over 6 acres in total, with just under 5 acres ideally suited for equestrian use.
The paddocks are well-presented and ready for immediate use, featuring two stables, one water tap serving the outbuildings with electricity and rubber matting, plus an additional storage barn with electricity supply and tack room. The paddock boundaries are fully post-and-rail fenced, offering the flexibility to section them according to the next owner’s requirements.
There is also vehicular access to the paddocks further up the road, ideal for larger vehicles that cannot be parked on the driveway, while providing discretion and in turn a sense of additional security and peace of mind for anything stored or kept on the land.
Beyond the paddocks lie uninterrupted views of rolling fields, with the neighbouring village’s church spire visible in the distance. The location offers easy access to a network of bridle paths, enhancing the property’s equestrian appeal.
Closer to the house, the formal garden is generous in size yet retains a quainter village feel, with mature fruit trees, shrubs, and planted beds. A patio area leads directly from the house, providing a pleasant spot to enjoy the outlook across the garden and paddocks.

The next steps...

Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
